Request for Misraj-DocOCR download links and licensing clarification

Hello Misraj team,

I am developing an Arabic OCR system for printed, historical, and low-quality scanned documents.

Could you please provide the official download links and documentation for Misraj-DocOCR, including:

  • the full page images;
  • the corresponding Markdown or other ground-truth/reference text;
  • image-to-text mapping files;
  • metadata and annotations;
  • the official train, validation, and test splits, if available.

I would also appreciate written clarification on whether the Apache-2.0 license shown on this dataset applies to all dataset assets, including the images, Markdown text, metadata, and annotations.

Could you please confirm whether I may:

  1. use the dataset to train or fine-tune another OCR or vision-language model;
  2. create internal augmented or degraded copies;
  3. publish benchmark results and training/integration code;
  4. publish LoRA adapters or trained/merged model weights;
  5. use the resulting model in a future commercial product or paid API;
  6. retain the original dataset privately without redistributing it.

Please also clarify whether any source documents or third-party assets have separate restrictions, and what attribution is required.

I previously contacted the team by email and am posting here in case this is the preferred communication channel.

Best regards,
Ahmad Sayed
